The 'Invisible Hand' described by a Roman philosopher
Cicero called gratitude the mother of all human virtues. It is an expression of humility, acknowledging that we do not stand by our own strength alone.
During the political turmoil of late Rome, he emphasized that remembering the goodwill of others is the invisible thread that holds society together. He warned that 'an ungrateful heart is the beginning of all evil.'
